Chapter 95 She Won't Get a Chance
"That's wonderful, honey!"
He Mingzhou originally wanted to hold Xin Li and spin her around, but suddenly realized that she was pregnant and he couldn't do that, so he quickly put her down.
Are you alright?
"Does your stomach hurt?"
"I'm so sorry, I was so happy just now that I forgot I shouldn't have done that."
"Is there anything that's bothering you? Please don't hold it in, you have to tell me."
Xin Li was stunned by He Mingzhou's barrage of questions.
"No, how could I be that fragile?"
He Mingzhou's words made it sound as if she were a fragile porcelain doll.
He Mingzhou pulled Xin Li around and examined her carefully from left to right.
He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she didn't seem uncomfortable at all.
I was worried about you.
Zhang Jinhua and Aunt Yang couldn't help but rub their arms when they heard this.
"Oh my, the sky has risen from the west! Our little He has actually started saying such things."
"Isn't that right? This is the first time I've ever heard him speak in such a tone. I thought our Xiao He had been possessed."
"Hahaha……"
He Mingzhou felt a little embarrassed by the teasing from his two elders.
But he still walked up to the two people and bowed deeply to express his gratitude: "Thank you both for accompanying Xinxin here."
It's obvious that the two elders must have discovered it. Xinli is young and a little girl, so she couldn't have imagined this at all.
"What's the big deal? Besides, we like Xinxin, so of course we'll keep an eye on her more."
"Don't worry, Xiao He, Xin Xin is fine, she just has some aftereffects of seasickness."
"She'll be fine after a good rest during this time."
He Mingzhou nodded: "What about the child?"
Zhang Jinhua and Aunt Yang exchanged a glance, both puzzled: "What child?"
He Mingzhou was also stunned.
No children?
His gaze fell on Xin Li.
Seeing that Xin Li also looked confused, He Mingzhou realized something: "Could it be... you're not pregnant?"
The three of them then realized what was going on.
"Who told you I'm pregnant?"
He Mingzhou pointed, then realized that the soldier wasn't there.
I was suddenly a little embarrassed as I stood there.
"Oh! It must be what that young man just said."
"Why do you only listen to half of what I say?"
Aunt Yang and Zhang Jinhua slapped their thighs and said, "We saw that Xin Xin said she was seasick and vomiting, and we were worried that she might be pregnant because she was young and didn't know, so we brought her to the clinic for a checkup."
"The doctor just checked her, and Xinxin is not pregnant."
"I just get seasick. I've been losing money lately, so I need to make up for it."
"Tell me, it's not even confirmed yet, how did it get to your ears?"
He Mingzhou finally understood the truth and forced a helpless smile.
At that moment, he didn't know whether he felt disappointed or sad.
Although it was a very shocking thing to suddenly find out that I was going to be a father.
But he was definitely happy inside.
Now that he realized he had been happy for nothing, He Mingzhou didn't know how to describe his feelings.
"Alright, alright, if you want to be a dad, go back and work hard."
"Don't put on that act. You and Xinxin are still young. You can have anything you want."
"If you two work hard, there will be plenty of time in the future."
Upon hearing this, both Xin Li and He Mingzhou blushed.
Although Zhang Jinhua's words sounded reasonable, understanding them instantly made one blush.
Xin Li initially wanted to pretend she didn't understand, but when she thought of He Mingzhou's brave appearance, she couldn't help but blush.
Zhang Jinhua chuckled mischievously at Aunt Yang, but ultimately didn't continue the teasing.
"Alright, alright, let's go back quickly."
“Xin Xin was brought here as soon as she got off the island, so let her go back and rest first.”
"You should all come to my sister-in-law's house for dinner tonight. I've prepared all the food, and it's just waiting to be cooked tonight."
Zhang Jinhua extended a warm invitation, and no one refused.
Since He Mingzhou was already there, even though he knew that Xin Li was not pregnant and it was all a big misunderstanding, he didn't turn back and went back to the army.
"Xiao He, you take Xin Xin back to rest first. I'll go help out at your sister-in-law Lu's house."
Zhang Jinhua did not refuse.
I've prepared a lot of things; she really couldn't handle it all by herself.
So the four of them split into two groups. He Mingzhou went home with Xin Li, while the two elders went directly to Zhang Jinhua's house and headed straight for the kitchen.
Xin Li and He Mingzhou walked home hand in hand.
"Aren't you a little disappointed to find out I'm not pregnant?"
He Mingzhou seemed so happy just now, and Xin Li was genuinely worried that he might feel a sense of disappointment.
How could that be?
He Mingzhou said, "I think this is a good idea."
Xin Li looked puzzled: "But weren't you very happy just now?"
He Mingzhou said, "Of course I'd be happy to know you were pregnant."
"But not being pregnant doesn't mean I'm unhappy."
“I’ve thought about it carefully. You’re still young, and you got seasick before. Didn’t we take medication on the ship? I heard that you can’t take medication when you’re pregnant.”
Xin Li had never heard of such a saying before in the apocalypse, so she tilted her head and asked, "Is there such a saying?"
"yes."
Xinli nodded: "Then it's definitely better not to get pregnant."
Do you like children?
He Mingzhou blushed and glanced at Xin Li: "Mm."
Seeing that he was still a little shy, Xinli couldn't help but tease him: "Then shouldn't you put in more effort?"
He Mingzhou's ears turned completely red.
"If you say that now, you'll be nagging me again tonight."
Xin Li: "Cough!"
You can't blame her for that.
Soldiers are just that terrifying; even someone with Xin Li's physique couldn't handle it. What could she do?
And this man never tires.
But she needs to rest!
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Are you going to the military base later?"
"Let's go tomorrow, and then we can explain it to the division commander."
"Now everyone knows you're pregnant. Since it's a misunderstanding, we need the division commander to step in. Otherwise, if we try to explain it ourselves, we'll probably run out of things to say."
Xin Li couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it.
"Who could have imagined the news would spread so quickly?"
He Mingzhou also found it amusing, guessing that by now the entire island probably knew about Xin Li's pregnancy.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
The people on the island were teasing him just like Zhang Jinhua and the others, and He Mingzhou felt like he couldn't keep up.
"Or I should go and talk to them."
Knowing that He Mingzhou wasn't very good at handling these kinds of things, Xin Li took the initiative to explain.
"Need not."
He Mingzhou realized that some people really cared about this, and if Xin Li went to talk to her, she would probably hear some unpleasant things.
"I'll ask my superiors for help; it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Oh well."
"By the way, what's become of Xie Shuangshuang?"
Are they going to leave immediately after delivering the supplies?
He Mingzhou said, "The division commander said before that he wanted people to stay for a few days, so I don't think they'll leave anytime soon."
Xin Li pouted: "That really gave her a chance to take advantage of her position."
He Mingzhou pinched Xin Li's cheek: "Don't talk nonsense, I won't give her that chance."
